A moderated mediation model of technology roadmapping and innovation: The roles of corporate foresight and organizational support

Abstract

This paper explored an antecedent for technology roadmapping and examined specific processes through which organizations' technology roadmapping can influence innovation. Drawing on a resource-based view and the organizational support literature, we proposed a model where in technology roadmapping mediates the indirect relationship between corporate foresight and innovation, and perceived organizational support has a moderating effect on the relationship between technology roadmapping and innovation. We tested this model in a field study involving 212 organizations, finding support for the hypothesized relationships. This study's findings add to the literature of technology roadmapping for the further development of theory and empirical studies.
